X-Git-Url: https://git.rm.cloudns.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f387fea2b957ba6beaa20c6db2c57d05b9bdae3e;p=xonotic%2Fgmqcc.git

Initial idea at implementing type-generic length operator like C's sizeof. The following semantics are present: len(array) gives you a constant-evaluated value of the number of elements in that array. len(string) gives you the strlen of a string. Other semantics to come. Since this is an operator you can eliminate the parens, thus "len array" works.
